Biplab Hazra’s photo
The photo titled “Hell Is Here” was taken in Bankura district, West Bengal state .India clearly shows the sharp conflict between humans and wildlife.
The photo captures the scene of two elephants being thrown by people with fireballs. The mother and daughter were very frightened.
The author of the photo said that at that time, the baby elephant screamed loudly when he saw the fireball at his feet.
“The ignorance of the crowd, the anger of the households with heavy property damage and the indifference of the local authorities have made this terrible scene happen regularly.” Sanctuary magazine shared about the winning photo.
Mainak Mazumder, a resident of Bankura, said people need to take responsibility for the elephants because they have destroyed their habitat.
In addition, elephants are abused and tortured. However, Mr. Mazumder also said that the people’s outrageous actions are because the elephants have destroyed their crops and crops.
